NOTE: The engine and pump on your Coleman®
Powermate® Pressure Washer will often have improved
performance after a break-in period of several hours.
PRE-START PREPARATION
Before starting the pressure washer, check for loose or
missing parts and for any damage which may have occurred
during shipment.
HOSE AND GUN ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Align threaded connections carefully to
prevent damaging threads during assembly. Tighten
connections securely to prevent leaks during operation.
Attach the hose to the inlet of the trigger gun.
Handle Installation
Install handle and hose hook as shown in Figure 1.
LUBRICATION
DO NOT
attempt to start the pressure washer engine
without filling the engine crank case with the proper amount
and type of oil (See pages 11 and 12 and Figure 2). Your
pressure washer engine has been shipped from the factory
without oil in the engine crankcase. Operating the unit with-
out oil will ruin the engine.
The pump has been shipped with oil. Before operating
the pressure washer check the oil level of the pump to make
sure the oil level is to pump manufacturer’s required level.
(See Figure 2). Use oil that is recommended from the pump
manufacturer. DO NOT OVERFILL!
If the pump is not equipped with a dipstick or side glass
window check oil leaks from the pump. Pump oil is shipped
in the pump from factory. Follow pump manufacturer’s
maintenance schedule for proper care.
FUEL
Fill the tank with clean, fresh unleaded automotive
gasoline. (See Figure 2). Regular grade gasoline may be used
provided a high octane rating is obtained (at least 85 pump
octane).
Gasoline is very dangerous. Serious injury may result from
fire caused by gasoline contacting hot surfaces.
Do not overfill the tank. Keep maximum fuel level 1/2
inch below the bottom of the filler neck. This will allow
expansion in hot weather and prevent overflow.
